Non title fight, Middleweight, both men weigh in at 162lb. 31 year old Hearns coming off his draw with Leonard, 26 year old Benn coming off his win over Sanderline Williams. Taj Majal Casino, Atlantic City. Ding ding! What happens?
Benn TKO5 Hearns. This period was arguably Benn's best - to the point where he knew when to outbox (granite-chinned DeWitt) and when to bomb (prime Barkley). Whicever way Hearns wants it, I feel Benn does the business either way.
